In all the attention on The Fault in Our Stars this weekend, you might have missed the new trailer for The Giver set for release August 15th. After the first trailer had book fans booing the lack of black and white imagery, this newest trailer aims to appease by delivering a bit more of the gray palette we expect from the Lois Lawry's classic. Still a whole lotta color going on though.And I'm still not thrilled with the age of Jonas as played by Brenton Thwaites. While he does seem younger on screen than his actual 24 years, he's clearly nowhere near the young boy coming of age we know from the novel. Typical Hollywood sexualization of the material.I've been looking forward to Jeff Bridges as 'the giver' but was a bit taken aback by Bridge's voice. His own tone is so rich and gravelly in its own right, I wouldn't have thought he'd do much; instead to my ear it sounds as though he's speaking through a mouthful of marbles, trying a bit too hard to sound like the voice of gravitas.Take a look at the trailer. What do you think? I hope I'm wrong, I seriously adore the man.

Updated 1/14/2019Congrats! You've just reached one of my most widely visited posts. I get it, lots of us want to hear what actors think about acting straight from their own lips. I've got a hunch if you find this post from 2013 interesting, you'll also find this year's more current video noteworthy too so I'm including it below. Cheers! Last Sunday I shared The Hollywood Reporter's Writers Roundtable, a lively discussion centered around the process and challenge of scripting stories for film, be it an original idea or adapting from another source. It was an interesting bunch of writers responsible for some of this years most talked about films including George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov (Monuments Men), Julie Delpey (Before Midnight), Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said), John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniel's The Butler). This week I want to share THR's Actors panel. Watch as Stephen Galloway, THR's longtime moderator, facilit…

If you go wandering to Barnesville for a look-see what you won’t find is Adora’s gorgeous Gothic home. The gated mansion sits thousands of miles away in the Redwood Valley area of Mendocino County in California.

The Sharp Objects house: 11535 East Rd, Redwood Valley, CA 95470 The show’s location manager Gregory Alpert told Vulture that director Jean-Marc Vallée “had very specific marching orders for the mansion: “I want a house that if someone was screaming, you would never hear them.”

Alpert was sent photos of the house by the Mendocino County film commission; the 7500 square foot five bedroom, four bathroom home is boasts a foyer with a staircase, formal living and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen, a breakfast room, a family room, and a home office. The 1,700-acre ranch also features its own nature preserve and 24 miles…

This is the newest poster for The Woman in Black, the film based on the Susan Hill book. It's a big improvement over the last poster featuring the two creepy kids, right? And while I am not a huge Daniel Radcliffe fan (I'm not a hater, just don't care one way or the other) there are millions of people out there who are. Kind of foolish of the filmmakers NOT to promote Daniel's presence in the film! It comes out February 3. Maybe the strategy was to tease us with the scratched out eyes image plus the come on line "What did they see?" and bring it on home with the Fear Her Curse tagline? Here's how Fandango describes the movie:Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), recently widowed and still grieving the loss of his wife, is sent to a remote village to put a deceased eccentric's affairs in order. But soon after his arrival, it becomes clear that the villagers are hiding a deadly secret. Kipps discovers that his late client's house is haunted by the spirit…
